051130 - Lower anterior teeth, gums are slightly inflamed.
051131 -
051132 - There was some build-up again which was removed during cleaning

051139 - ..
051140 - There was no discussion of this problem today.
051142 - ..
051143 - Steve did the cleaning after Russ did the polishing, which seems
051144 - backwards. Steve used new technology called an "ultrasonic scaler"
051145 - for the cleaning instrument. It hurt quite a bit on several teeth.
051146 - He finally went back to a hand held tool for the lower front teeth.
051147 - Then he finished with the ultrasonic scaler tool again. It is faster
051148 - but causes a great deal more pain, because the degree of impact is
051149 - constant, whereas a dentist can manually apply less pressure with the
051150 - hand held unit.
051151 -
051152 - [On 050518 1100 ultrsonic cleaning again very painful,
051153 - ref SDS 9 FB6L; for deep cleaning tried novocaine injection
051154 - for numbing agent, which prevented pain using ultrasonic
051155 - scaler; however, water spray caused problems for achalasia,
051156 - so switched to manual dental pick. ref SDS 9 GD69
051158 - ..
051159 - [On 970617 1000 Curt tried ultrasonic scaler for cleaning,
051160 - but pain was difficult to tolerate, so Curt switched back
051161 - to standard manual dentist pick. ref SDS 8 2796
051163 - ..
051164 - Russ is thinking of getting a computer this Christmas for his daughter
051165 - who is 3 years old. He asked if he should get a 74 Mhz or faster
051166 - computer. I did not indicate it won't make any difference.
